New Air Compressor Installation


Bldg. #4 air compressor

Consistent air pressure is a constant need in a foundry, and we struggle with a shortage of air from time to time.   The need for compressed air is driven by several departments, most notably the molding and finishing departments.  A shortage of air can affect mold quality, productivity, and efficiency throughout the production process. 
While we recognize that sales orders are below capacity, we are taking a pro-active approach to building infrastructure for future potential, understanding that we want to be prepared for the next wave of opportunity.
Adding a new air compressor serves this philosophy in 2 ways.  First, we are able to maintain consistent air pressure throughout the plant at all times; second, this gives us the opportunity to improve our finishing capabilities by 30%.
